You wish to prepay a fixed rate loan balance of $100,000 which has two years of its original fixed rate
term left to run. The hedge rate at the start of the fixed rate period was 7.00% p.a., but wholesale rates
have fallen since then and the current hedge rate for the remaining fixed rate term is now at 6.00% p.a.
The interest rate differential is 1.00% p.a. The approximate prepayment cost would therefore be:
Prepayment Cost = $100,000* 1.00%p.a. * 2 years = approx $2,000
